FROM THE MOUSE:

 

I nearly got my nose clipped off!

 

I was just sitting under one of those nice bushes outside—getting some fresh air-- when along comes Bill Drecktrah, clipping away, shaping up the shrubs, making them look nice. He’s just another one of those faithful volunteers—people that keep on keeping on—doing the mundane as well as the celebratory.

People like Karen Betler, who not only waters, but also “spritzes” and trims the inside church plants. (She’s another danger to a mouse who likes to hide in plants.)

People like Bev Chadwick and her husband who come early every Sunday morning to make sure the coffee is cooking; and Trish Prellwitz, who makes sure the snacks are out so nice.

People like Linda Nitz. who roasts the meat for the bloodmobile sandwiches, and the women who help her and make cookies.

People like Dina Dretske and all her helpers who ran the Vacation Bible School. And many more, like Mary Falk who sends out religious lesson materials to all the newborns of the congregation.

 As we go through transition in our congregation we are thankful for these people and many more. Now, more than ever we need people to “keep on keeping on.”
